Interesting Insights on Christian Pluralism
Here is an address Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, that was delivered at this years annual meeting of the WCC (World Council of Churches). I believe it carries some wonderful ideas and understandings on how Christians cannot only co exist with other religions peacefully but even more, accept them and find truth in them. I love how he emphasizes that is it not about right belief or having a right system of thought against its competetors,which is what much of Christianity has become. Through all of this he never tries to dillute Christianity or deny its uniqueness in the world. I really encourage you to read this thoughtful and provocative address by one of the worlds leading religious figures.

I have found Rowan Williams to be a consistently impressive writer, speaker, and overall spiritual head of the Anglican Communion. Even though he is known for his liberal views on issues of human sexuality, he has spent much time listening to those provinces that have been upset by the ECUSA's confirming gay bishops. I think he is a great model of listening and reconciliation.
